Thewes Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) I am finally getting back into the hobby and throwing some 18's in my car. I want to pound out 28-32hz notes on music. Out of these subwoofers, which would handle the lows the best? (I don't know exactly what determines it, I think it has to do with the suspension, xmax, etc) This is also assuming each sub was in its proper enclosure accordingly tuned to 28hz. - RE Audio XXX 18'' - Sundown Audio Nightshade 18'' - Incriminator Audio Death Peantly 18'' - DC Audio Level 4xl (or 5) 18'' These are just a couple of the companies I feel most comfortable buying from. If you have any other recommendations get at me. FI is another great company, Scott is a great dude, but I ran it in my last build so I want to switch it up. Thanks.

arnold1992 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 i think any of those subs would hit down low if the box is tuned low Quote RE se xxx 18d2 (4) Audioque 2200 (2) DC Power 270XP blue 3 C&D fr310 Stinger wiring CDT components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wL<3bass Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 All of those subs can play low with the right box configuration but the XXX gets down with the whales but kinda falls on its face in the higher bass frequencies and overall loudness when compared to the other subs mentioned.....

brewer_brewer Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 i think any of those subs would hit down low if the box is tuned low the nightshade or level 5 would be my choices.

Thewes Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 i think any of those subs would hit down low if the box is tuned low I know they will all hit low in the proper box, but I am specifically looking for a sub that will shine on the low notes, you know what I'm saying? And is the XXX really noticeably not as loud as the rest of the subs? I figured if I throw 3k watts on it, it will scream and hit the lows I want it to.

Derrick824 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I like my four Sundown sa-12s better than I do my two NightShade 15s for playing the lows. No doubt the NightShades are louder though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
